Any ubuntu users working on this laptop , willing to share the
experience...?
Dell Mini - Comes with Ubuntu but the Intel driver has some proprietary
components that makes it a hassle to upgrade or switch to another Linux
distribution. I don't recommend it at all.
Hi !
This is very true .

Bottom line is , no netbook /laptop manufacturer supports Linux as the
main distribution due to pressure from the big brother. (

And distro makers can not support all the available netbook /laptop
models. So the end user is left to tinker with the linux
netbooks/laptops on their own and depend on forums or their local
linux guru !
